It would be both. I currently haven't hooked subs into the plugin structure yet. I looked at 2 plugins and they both (youtube, iplayer) use a format that FFmpeg cannot decode, so i left it for now. I would either have to build some functionality to convert them to SRT or leave it up to the plugin devs.

What format do subs come in your plugin?

"Both" sounds great. I take it you mean that the plugin can decide (by using a flag?) if it wants the subs burned in?Client toggling is obviously sweeter for the user, in case the DLNA client supports it.

No, it's up to the client to enable hardsubs (burn-in) in the console. It then can encode them either always or when required by the profile (another setting). If we do burn-in, the text softsubs resource is not served.

So it'll be totally transparent to the plugin.

the problem is that most of the sites I was looking at were either using their own formats or something FFmpeg doesn't support, so the plugin devs would have to write some code to transform the sub files to .srt.
